How this tool works

  • Rate each skill area from 1 (beginner/none) to 5 (expert/mastery) for current capability
  • Set the required level: 1 (nice to have) to 5 (business-critical)
  • Gap = required level − current level. Negative gaps (current exceeds required) are shown as 0
  • High priority: gap ≥ 2 points. Medium: gap = 1 point. Low: gap = 0 points
  • This is a directional tool. For formal gap analysis, supplement with manager assessments and performance data

Turn your gap analysis into a training plan
